Creating Secure Fabric OS Policies
Note:
server is included in a MAC policy for IP-based management, such as the
HTTP_POLICY, all IP packets leaving the proxy server appear to originate from the
proxy server. This could result in allowing any hosts that have access to the proxy server
to access the fabric.
By default, all access is allowed; no MAC policies exist until they are created by
the administrator.

Creating an SNMP Policy

You can create read and write SNMP policies to specify which SNMP hosts are
allowed read and write access to the fabric. The SNMP hosts must be identified by
IP address.
Any host granted write permission by the WSNMP policy is automatically granted
read permission by the RSNMP policy.
Note:
to ensure consistent read/write access to the Primary FCS switch.
